One simple question: How many people have been tested at Memorial?
People need to be tested in order for the community to really take social distancing seriously. If people are under the illusion the virus is not here, they will continue to ignore the pleas for distancing coming from Memorial.
Not publishing these numbers does not help Memorial or the community, even if the number of tests are embarrassingly close to zero.
Sorry, but must disagree. The distancing, et al, is/has been from the beginning our national, PRIMARY mandate for combating and reducing/preventing the spread of this virus – not just that of/from Memorial. The people you refer to who may be of such mind as to ignore it because of no testing/data are few and far between, unless of severe/acute mental disorder(s). If you get sick or flu-like symptoms, etc, immediately consider that you might have it, stay home and isolate, self-treat as per guidelines and/or call a health provider if it worsens beyond the norm. This is not a perfect world and no system, protocol, et al, is or ever will be such. Stay calm and use your head. That said, DO believe it’s remiss and a public disservice not to release the specific communities where the infected persons either reside and/or where and how it’s suspected that the infection occurred – AND – to have such broad and selective interpretations of what are essential businesses, resulting in the small 1-person or Mom-Pop businesses to close while the non-essential (by any common sense) factories with hundreds of people/chances by daily interacting in close quarters with potential for infection and spreading as they come/go into the community.
23 people have been tested in Dubois.
The Indiana Covid map now says how many have been tested per county
